Towards better humanitarian donorship: 12 lessons from DAC peer reviews

This publication outlines the 12 most important humanitarian lessons from the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) peer reviews, profiles examples of good donor behaviour highlighted in the peer reviews, and sketches out the challenges donors still face as they move towards better humanitarian donorship. Lessons are grouped under the following headings: (i) the strategic framework, which includes disaster risk reduction and the implementation of donor and partner countries commitments under the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015; (ii) delivering effective funding; (iii) an organisation fit for purpose; and (iv) learning and accountability.
